The people that are offended by this song don't understand the point. It's just a parody of prejudice and how ridiculous it is. Randy Newman just had a unique way of saying it.
@BowFloyd you also skipped over the obvious fact that Randy Newman is, himself, a tiny little man. He got death threats in spite of this fact that kind of turns the tables, in my opinion.
@redpandarama They may be amazing musicians, but I also have a hatred of this particular song and think it is very cruel. Need I also mention that I am also "short"
So, what's the deal.... did Bret just join you guys for this one tune on the show? He wasn't there in "I Love You, Raylene".... would love to see this whole show though, you guys sound great....! =)
I remember listening to this song with my family aged 5. Everyone in my family (myself included) are short and I didn't understand how they could enjoy it.
This made me laugh so much!!!
And I'm only 4'10" 😄

Very good, but who came first, them or the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Seem to be a little too similar.
